First Nations, Inuit, Métis and Urban Indigenous Cancer Strategy
More than 15,000 people in our region identify as First Nations, Métis or Inuit. As a Regional Cancer Program, we work together with Ontario Health’s Indigenous Cancer Care Unit, as well as First Nations, Inuit, Métis and urban Indigenous peoples to understand and meet the unique needs of Indigenous people. We follow Ontario Health’s Indigenous Cancer Strategy to ensure the highest quality of cancer care for First Nations, Inuit and Métis and urban Indigenous peoples in the region.

The Regional Cancer Program partners with The Indigenous Network to build meaningful partnerships and provide value add services for our region’s Indigenous community.
The Indigenous Network
The Indigenous Network is a community-based, non-profit, registered charity whose mission is to provide programs and services to address the spiritual, mental, emotional and physical needs of the urban Indigenous population of Mississauga and neighbouring regions. Through a supportive social network and culturally appropriate programs and services, Indigenous peoples will have the opportunity to develop and strengthen a sense of community in Mississauga.
